I am going to get it anyway - it would be nice to register thy name ahead of time.

Looking to add BF2 members to our clan. Drop a line if interested.

Man, check out those videos of gameplay on the page! They might be ShakeyCam footage, but man! I can not wait!

The game looks great, and I'm definitely going to buy it. But when you watch the videos, it reminds me a lot of Battlefield.

register their usernames in advance

What?! Don't tell me this is one of those online games where you have to play with a specific user account and it tracks stats, etc.

So?

Damn, registered names again? That's one of the biggest pains in BF2. I suppose we're going to have to put up with some asinine weapon unlock / rank crap as well. Enough with the MMORPG in my FPS, FFS.

So?

Once again, any game Assley Putz can't play is a good game...

Nope, it will only have stats, maybe some medal crap etc. The devs has said that no unlocks or similar will be available, since it breaks the balance of the game. It will have campaigns though, usually played over three maps where you do get skill upgrades but will be reseted after the campaig is finished. Play W:ET if you haven't to see how that works.

How is this any different than BF? Had you not put up the name of the game on the video, how many of us would have thought it was BF? other than the hardcore players...

The government is watching. Having to register means they can track you. They'll redflag you if you play as the Strogg too often!!!1!

Registered names with no persistent unlocks/ranks FTW!

The game has just moved from my "buy on sight" list to my "pre-order on sight" list.

Another product to pre-order and then later becomes pushed back with a delay. Pre-ordering is such a scam.

So?

"So" does not answer the question, now does it?

As for why that is a problem I prefer to play randomnly and anonymously when I play online not have to stick to the same character and worry about having to get X amount of points to be able to use certain weapons or abilities. If I wanted to do that, I would play MMO games.

Enough with the MMORPG in my FPS, FFS.

Amen.

That is precisely the problem. It's just one more opportunity for companies to know how I spend my time and try to sell crap to me. I don't have to be a "Nielsen family" to watch television, and I sure as hell shouldn't have to be one to play video games online.

You guys are idiots. I'll take this naming system over the shit we usually see. Maybe some of you miss having some asshat make a name JUST LIKE YOURS (clan tag and all), then go around servers griefing players to hurt your reputation. Or maybe you miss getting on a server and seeing 3 players with the same name as you no matter how "unique" your name is, because they thought it was cool and stole it from you.

Register mine, thank you.

Reputation?! LOL! Oh yes you wouldn't want the cool kids to think you're not cool.

I have some shocking news for you. Your real name is mostly likely not unique either. Get over it.

As I said, there will be no persistent unlocks of any kind, only skill upgrades during a short campaign that really doesn't alter the game play that much (a tiny bit better accuracy, bigger ammo packs, bigger health packs, charge bar that don't drain as fast etc). If you do like to be as anonymous as possible, do like the rest of us and use a spam mail account if it's required when signing up.

Will the system have us wait when logging in for 5 minutes? Fuck knows, lets see when the game is released without getting paranoid meanwhile. Every game using a cdkey that needs to be validated stores your ip, for a short amount of time at least, but just think about it, THEY MIGHT BE TRACKING YOU RIGHT NOW! OH GOD!
